Defense

The systems on bases and ships that keep people alive and defended: utilities, fuels, shipyard controls and facility-related control systems. Mission assurance starts at the PLC.

The exposure

FRCS is the soft edge of the mission.

Facility-related control systems and installation utilities were connected long before they were defended. An adversary who cannot reach the network reaches for the power, water and fuel that the network needs.
